Best Acer Laptops 2020

Acer laptops are one of the few computer devices that can boast of good quality and affordable prices. The company provides a wide range of models from gaming to multimedia devices. There are also transformers and ultrabooks on sale. This ranking of the best Acer laptops describes gadgets for different tastes. For example, those that pull heavy games or have other outstanding characteristics, or simple office devices. But, first of all, special emphasis is placed on the autonomy of work and ease of use. Also considered are devices that are suitable for schoolchildren and students.

The lineup

Each Acer model has its own characteristics. Headphone jacks are located in the center of the front edge of the case. This is not a bad option for using a headset. Almost all new models have additional WIFI and Bluetooth buttons. There is a card reader in front.

There are four families in total (Aspire, Travel Mate, Extensa and Ferrari), each with its own characteristics. In addition, there are other series of notebooks from Acer. The main rulers are simply described here by way of example.

Acer ASPIRE

This is the most successful line of laptops from the company. This includes budget models that are intended for home use. Features of this series: black lid with a glossy finish, light gray body color and large streamlined shape.

The diagonal of the screen is mainly from 15 to 17 inches. Main advantages over direct competitors:

• Lower prices;
• More interesting characteristics;
• More memory;
• Larger hard drive volume;
• More powerful processor.

Unfortunately, the quality of the matrix and the screen resolution are poor. Almost all screens have a resolution of no more than 1440x900 pixels, which is very small even for a modern phone or tablet.

Acer Travel Mate

This is a line of office laptops. It is the most popular and widespread on the market. This laptop is suitable for travel, as the name suggests. Although it is not very convenient to carry such a device, since the lightest model weighs at least 2 kilograms. Therefore, objectively, it is more suitable for stationary work in the office than for use on regular trips.

This line is slightly different from the previous one. Half of the models in the office-corporate line of Acer bear similar names to Aspire, while the second half of the number is somewhat different.

So, the Travel Mate line has 2 series of models: the first is office models with basic parameters and simple functionality, which can be purchased at low prices. However, they are difficult to classify as corporate, since they have limited functionality. Such models are more suitable for small and medium businesses.

More interesting and expensive second row of models. They are more functional and more powerful. However, the prices are not very pleasing. In fact, similar products from bison such as HP, Dell or Lenovo will in many cases cost even less than the Travel Mate 6000 series.

Acer extensa

Only in 2007, they launched this line into production as a series of portable devices that should be used by small businesses or private entrepreneurs.This line of laptops is weaker in performance and overall power than the Travel Mate. Less productive hardware means more attractive prices.

This line is the most attractive of all in terms of price points. Extensa is the best option for small businesses. On laptops of this series, basic programs are installed for comfortable work with documents. There are no fancy programs and add-ons here. Only everything you need. Prices range from lowest to medium. All laptops in this line have a strict design.

Acer ferrari

Acer has been a partner of the Ferrari team in Formula 1 for quite a long time. Initially, Acer was supposed to simply make products for an automobile brand. AMD has joined the partnership with Acer. Then ATI joined them.

Despite the tandem, the line's performance is rather weak. It is difficult for these companies to make sufficiently powerful hardware for the device.

Also, the design is rather controversial, since the forms of the case are decorated aggressively.

Here are the best Acer laptops. The rating includes both budget and more expensive models.
